| Setting Item               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| Enable Travel Management   | This either enables or disables the ability to manage travel directly from within an Appointment and for **Maica Client Care** to generate travel claims.                                                                        |
| Reimbursement Rate         | The reimbursement rate is used when calculating the overall financial value for an expense claim, for example a rate of $0.10 across 5km would result in a financial value of $0.50.                                             |
| Default Expense Status     | When **Maica Client Care** generates expense claims, it uses the Default Expense Status to populate the `Status` field on the expense. This allows you to cater the approval process for expense claims according to your needs. |
| Travel Claim Type          | Within the NDIS, several claim types exist to invoice and bill for services. This setting defines the claim type to be used when generating travel claims; by default this is set to `Provider Travel`.                          |
| Travel Timesheet Activity  | When **Maica Client Care** generates a timesheet for travel, this setting defines the Support Item being used to do so.                                                                                                          |
| Travel Appointment Service | This is the Appointment Service from which **Maica Client Care** will select the Travel Support Item against which to [bill](/maica-billing-processes/maica-billing-processes/appointment-travel-billing.md) for km travelled.   |
